I've only had my Kia Sorento for a little over 2 years and I was trying to go forward when my car just started going in reverse. I had the car in drive and it just started going in reverse. I tried to put it in park and the same thing happened. So now it just going in reverse in all gears

2 weeks ago my dashboard lit up with all lights while driving brakes, airbag, tire pressure, engine, swirve control, down hill, tach jumped up and down and also speedometer, loss of power like drag on engine. Made it home and shut it off and restarted 3times all lights went off except tire and airbag. Drove to dealer in morning and when I arrived only light on was airbag. They said there was a wire loose under seat? got car back end off week.the following weekend Saturday it did it again while driving all the lights and gauges but this time I went to put it in reverse and it wouldnt shift in reverse so I drove it in my drive way then put it in park and then I couldnt get out of park while it was running. I shut it off and restarted twice, then got it in reverse to back in my garage. Sunday engine and tire and airbag light still on went to store and more lights went back on when I came home and pulled in garage put in park door locks started locking and unlocking till I shut car off. My car is one of the cars on engine recall and the dealer says it has the engine issue as it makes the noise that these cars make but when they put it on the computer for headquaters it wont make it. They have put on the computer twice and service has heard it and so have I. each time before this happens my car seems to start running ruff. I felt that they didnt believe what I said so this time I took pictures of my dash and video recorded it on my phone they know I only have less then 3000 miles left on my 100,000 mile warranty so I feel they are pushing me off till whatever is causing this comes out of my pocket. Exactly 2 weeks from first occurence.
